Re: Recently saw memory-key address in new line at bottom of FireFox's History Drop-down-menu. (June 2019.)
Re: After memory-key displays in FireFox-History menu, from "must add Extension," I can No Longer Connect to one of my financial websites; could connect in early June to same website prior to this extension install, (and as late as July 3 '19 to other financial websites)
Re: Firefox Browser (FrFx), ver 48.0.2, latest ver. that could be installed on OSX 10.6.8, Mac Mini early '09
Re: Currently, haven't time to purchase, learn to use newer ver. OSX and Internet (INet) Security on/for it.

b. Using non-secure http://www.[financial website].com as URL, gives same can't authenticate + not connect warnings, since both Google and that financial website automatically switch to secure https:// type of connection!

4a. Even using Chrome browser -> Google always converts to https:// in URL line > "Broken HTTPS," plus 'website id not verified,' but at Green-around-padlock: Your connection to www.[financial website].com is encrypted using an obsolete cipher suite. The connection uses TLS 1.2. The connection is encrypted using AES_256_CBC, with ……..1 for message authentication and RAS as the key exchange mechanism." "Your INet connection is blocked," but I have already added 'Chrome://' to my INet Security program's Firewall, and to its 'allowed cookies' list, twice.

b. ***Did that questionable-"must add Firefox Extension" change the encryption method used by Firefox browser to AES……, since that older version of FrFx had just been connecting to that financial website's server just fine.***

5a.Tech. Support department at [financial website] 1st: told me they had made NO Changes to encryption on their server, and 2nd: they have AntiVirus + Internet Security on their server that most likely rejects my older computer (even with up-to-date INet Security definitions).

b. A Mac shop cleaned malware from my Mac, but found NONE. They suggested that some websites are now requiring one of 'only the 3 most recent versions of an O.S.,' which is supported by updates from its manufacturer, in order to connect to their server.

6a. I can't find any items in my Mac's hard drive relating to a FrFx/Mozilla Extension, as that folder won't open, even with administrative rights. (But Can't Log-In as Admin.-User with missing Password.) Can any ....plist s be removed safely and v. 48.0.2 function well?

b. ****How can one find + remove the added extension,, or whatever, at that memory-key stated in the FrFx-History-Menu?*****
c. Is there a newer ver. of Firefox browser which can now be installed safely on OSX 10.6.8?

Re-enable extensions disabled in v48.0.2 from the update error in may 2019

YEs I know there was a problem that is being addressed for later versions of Firefox but, I have a work hoers MAc OSX that I can not upgrade to the latest versions of Firefox and am stuck with v.48.0.2.

With the fact that the error was on Firefox/Mazola's end with the newer Addon Certificate oops, All of my older extensions/Addons have stopped and been disabled also of course.Is there a way to re-enable them or will there be one?

Some of the older ones that can not be updated via the devs also due to them actually requiring yet again newer machines and software to be purchased and used, etc.
ATM extensions/Addons such as Ghostery, and some other add blockers as well as some older adobe extensions.

I am now vulnerable to all sorts of things I was not vulnerable to thanks to Ghostery and some of the other extensions/Addons I had in place and working for that version of Firefox.

IT is taken me hours just to post this now due to the disabled extensions/Addons.I need to renewable the ones that were disabled please ASAP.

I'm trying to go on Medicare.gov and find a doctor for my Mother. I went to "Find a doctor". Typed in "General Practice". It searches in my zip code. Results start coming up and then it crashes. I'm using old Mac laptop. OS X v. 10.6.8. Using Firefox 48.0.2 I think the Mac is too old to upgrade to more recent software.

I recently updated the newest Firefox version, at least I think so. I watched the Video about creating and accessing bookmarks. Before the latest version I created many folders and placed websites of many non-profit organizations and other arts resources. Now, when I click the star the follow occurs: Star turns blue and moves to clip board? icon.
First option: View bookmark side bar; Second: Show All Bookmarks; Third: View Pocket List (I don't use Pocket); Forth: Bookmarks Toolbar; Fifth: Other Bookmarks; Sixth: Show all Bookmarks. These are fewer options than listed on the Firefox bookmarks video.
When I click: Show all Bookmarks a grey and white empty box appears with the the top title Library. When I click Show All Bookmarks, nothing occurs.
What's also odd is that when I bring up a website like nypl.org the star turns blue. But I can't find that bookmark, only listed, without a name, of 157

Yesterday, my Firefox History browser stopped saving almost all pages. The only pages it does save are ones like this: Firefox pages. I have no idea why it's doing this; I haven't been doing anything differently.
I'm using an old Macbook - Mac OS X 10.6.8 - if that's relevant.
I'm like a 95-year-old from the early 90s when it comes to technology, so please dumb it way down.
Thanks.

My question describes the problem. I have this old MacBook I travel with and want to see if there are things I can do to it so that I can update Firefox which probably requires me to be able to update the operating system to El Capitain. I have an iMac at home which is up to date in everyway but I hate to through out this high functioning but old MacBook if it can be bought into the modern world.

Back in February, I updated Firefox on my MacBook Pro, OSX 10.6.8. AdBlock Plus was moved into the Old Firefox Data folder. Not realizing this, I went to Add-ons. The closest description I thought was AdBlock Strict, which I installed.

It has annoyed me ever since. Ads load everywhere. When I click on any live link in an e-mail or a website, the popup asks Allow or Deny, I click Allow and nothing happens. Since every time I do something to this computer, I get it wrong and waste a lot of time, I have let this problem annoy me every day and go to work on another, newer MacBook Pro (without ads and with working links).

I've finally had it! I want to get the old AdBlock Plus back and ditch Strict forever.

Why do you think it's good to force me to upgrade my operating system so that I can have the upgraded firefox? I will lose the use of programs that are important to me and CANNOT be replaced! There is NO free alternative to MPEG Streamclip. CopyPaste is no longer available. I use these, and other perfectly functional programs on my dinosaur Mac OX 10.8.5. The upgrades do not provide me with discernable added value. As you can see, this is a rant.

Beginning four days ago, the screen freezes when, having opened an email from a magazine, I click on and try to read an article contained within the email. The screen does not freeze when I go directly from MSN to a news story from the Post or Times or Guardian, only when I'm in my Hotmail account. AND it does not freeze when I access that account using Safari. I know I'm now out of date and unsupported, whatever that means, but I'm told the only solution to that is to relegate this lovely Mac to the scrapheap. Anyway, this new habit of freezing is a specific problem which should have a specific solution short of buying a new computer. Thanks for your help.
